Mariner East 2 (+1): Sunoco plans second Pennsylvania pipeline
From an Article by Nick Malawskey, PennLive.com, June 04, 2015
Sunoco Logistics says it is considering doubling-down on its Mariner East II project, potentially adding a second pipeline as part of the overall project.
The Philadelphia-based company said it is still acquiring right-of-way for the Mariner East II project, which it is expecting to go live by the end of next year. Based on interest in the project, Sunoco is now considering building two parallel lines as part of Mariner East II.
The 350-mile long pipeline will run from Ohio to Marcus Hook near Philadelphia, and will transport natural gas liquids for local and international markets.
It will roughly parallel the company’s existing Mariner East pipeline, which has been retrofitted to carry propane from western Pennsylvania to Marcus Hook. Mariner East formerly carried oil and oil-related projects from the coast westward.
Shields said whether or not the company doubles-down on Mariner East II will largely depend on how successfully the company can sell capacity. If there is enough interest, Sunoco could hold an “open season” – in which gas providers contract for capacity, later this year.
“It’s not a done deal, we’re still studying the interest,” he said. (Whether the proposed Shell cracker plant, which would be a large user of ethane, is built in Beaver County is relevant here.)
Building both pipelines at the same time, Shields said, would limit construction impacts on local landowners and communities.
Earlier this year Sunoco Logistics withdrew its petition to the Pennsylvania Public Utilities Commission to be exempted from local zoning rules along the pipeline route. The company can still use eminent domain to build the pipeline, but will have to comply with local rules when building pump stations or other structures.
When completed, Mariner East 2 could carry between 250,000 and 675,000 barrels per day (of natural gas liquids) across the state of Pennsylvania

“I’m trying to protect something that was passed on to me,” said Georgia resident Jimmy Helmly, who opposes the pipeline. “People from away from here, with no ties, just want to make a dollar. I understand. I believe in American capitalism. But why should I sacrifice so you can make billions?” (Jenny Jarvie / For The Times)
